The definition of multiple slicing types in 5G has created a wide field for service innovation in communications. However, the advantages that network slicing has to offer remain to be fully exploited by today’s applications and users. An important area that can potentially benefit from 5G slicing is emergency communications for First Responders. The latter consists of heterogeneous teams, imposing different requirements on the connectivity network. In this paper, the RESPOND-A platform is presented, which provides First Responders with network-enabled tools on top of 5G on-scene planning, with enhanced service slicing capabilities tailored to emergency communications. Furthermore, a mapping of emergency services and communications to specific slice types is proposed to identify the current challenges in the field. Additionally, the proposed tentative mechanism is evaluated in terms of energy efficiency. Finally, the approach is summarized by discussing future steps in the convergence of 5G network slicing in various areas of emergency vertical applications.

Worldwide, there is a significant increase in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by emergency services. They offer a lot of possibilities during rescue operations. Such a wide application for various purposes and environments causes many threats related to their use. To minimize the risks associated with conducting air operations with UAVs, the application of the SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) methodology will be important. Due to its level of detail, it is a methodology adapted to civilian use. In this article, the authors’ team will try to develop guidelines and directions for adapting SORA to the requirements of the operational work of emergency services. Thus, the following article aims to present the most important risks related to conducting operations with the use of UAVs by first responders (FRs), and to show the sample risk analysis performed for this type of operation on the example of the ASSISTANCE project. The paper describes, on the one hand, possibilities offered by UAVs in crisis or disaster management and step-by-step Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA), and on the other hand, presents possible threats, consequences and methods of their mitigation during FR missions.

Major societal changes affecting the provision of child health care have occurred over the last few decades. In the area of emergency services, consent for medical treatment is an important issue. The purpose of this statement is to outline major considerations involving consent and provide the physician with practical guidelines concerning this issue. Today fewer than one third of children live in two-parent families in which only the father works outside the home.1,2 Because of foster care placement, or temporary or permanent arrangements with relatives or friends, parents may not be available to give consent for treatment of their children.3-6 Unaccompanied minors may seek medical attention in any one of a number of locations. Some go to the emergency department, 14% of which have no policy regarding consent for the care of these patients.7 Unaccompanied minors younger than 18 years of age account for 3.4% of all emergency department visits.7 Twenty-two states and the District of Columbia now have laws concerning the "mture minor." Most other states have provisions in which competent minors may arrange for care involving contraceptives, pregnancy, abortion, sexually transmitted diseases, drug and alcohol abuse, and psychiatric disorders.8 The dilemma for emergency physicians and practicing pediatricians alike is whether to follow a strict interpretation of the law or to adopt a more practical approach. Clearly, consent is not required in life- or limb-threatening emergencies,8,9 although the definition of emergency varies from state to state. However, in most instances, only routine care, not emergency care, is needed. As a result, many physicians fear charges of battery or litigation should their judgement regarding treatment be questioned.8
